At 5% you're looking at a hundredth of a second or less, assuming a 2.5 mob gcd, which is why it needs to be up for over 30+ seconds before you'll actually start seeing a reduced number of attacks.

Shadow flare=Nonexistent mitigation.

I can't wrap my head around this victim mentality that seems so prevalent among healer mains (at least here on the OF). If things are as bad as people are saying, why do you keep playing healer?
Because it's fun to watch people rage when you let them die so you can pursue your own numbers? They're already whining at us when we don't dps so may as well have some fun and give them exactly what they want~
